APPLY: POST-CLERKSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Our Founders' Vision

In 1943, Henry Foley and Garrett Hoag sought to establish a different kind of law firm. They were determined to hire the very best lawyers based entirely on individual merit, a departure from the exclusionary practices elsewhere in that era, and to practice in new and exciting areas that more traditional Boston firms were slow to recognize.

In the years since they began their collaboration, we have remained committed to their goals and to the proposition that the excellence of Foley Hoag’s legal product is its hallmark.
